Duquesne Dukes Fan Forum / Bryce James

He just committed to Arizona. I thought Dru actually had a shot.

Enough!!!! Let's get over the James' sons and get on with life. They were never going to come to Duquesne and would have been a giant distraction if they had. Dru is building a team. Let's follow it.

Oh after Bryce is not starting playing 40 minutes at Arizona Duquesne will be the talk nationally as to the next program destination.

Bryce is a very good player. Maybe NBA stuff someday. DU is returning just about everyone and really isn't a good fit for us nor him. It's good to see him going to AZ. I wish him the best.

Go Dukes.

Reports are Bryce is even worse than Bronny, so not a big loss.

I thought DU had a chance at getting Bryce and am disappointed it did not happen. Bryce James coming to DU would have been a serious paradigm shift and anyone who thinks DU is better off without him hasn’t thought it through. Aside from him just being better than anybody that DU could recruit and improving the team on the floor exponentially imagine the national exposure. National media would be at every game and DU would be on Sportcenter EVERY night. Players would want to come to DU just because Bryce is on the team. And lastly, the money that would follow Bryce to campus (father is practically a billionaire) would be incalculable. Sold out out arena every night to boot. He’s not coming here at least for now so no need to chop it up further BUT let’s not pretend it wouldn’t be the best thing to ever happen to the program.
